Hi, everyone!
I got some outside time yesterday, and it remains a top way of quickly perking myself up.
Ramble of the Day
A very random development for me this year is that I’ve turned into Niko Kranjčar. I inherited a denim jacket from my dad this year, which is oversized on me to an acceptable degree. I’ve thrown it on a lot of times during this pandemic period because it also affords a certain amount of ease, but the oversized element of the jacket really shows up to a certain degree in the sleeves. They’re slightly too long, enough to tuck most of my hands into the sleeves, so I look a bit like Kranjčar.

I suppose I’ve worn the jacket enough times that I’ve started to do this with my other jackets, sweaters, and sweatshirt. It’s a bit of a problem, to the point where I’ve decided I need to roll up the sleeves on the denim jacket so I can get used to having my hands outside of my sleeves. It may be too late for me, though — I did it with a sweater yesterday.
tl;dr: I do the thing Niko Kranjčar does where I tuck my hands into my sleeves.
